By the time Andy and I stopped talking, it was already time for dinner. It was close to when visitors had to leave. I smiled and led him back inside. Yes, we had spent the whole day together. I smiled at this thought. We caught up. I will get to meet Juliet when he comes back to visit and he promised to bring some of the boys with him. He told me that he believes me, Ashley, and CC will get along well.

I believed him. He had a good idea of how I felt around people and how people feel around me. And since I'm not fully mute anymore, it'll be less weird.

As soon as we entered the doors, we started to head to the cafeteria. But not all the rooms were empty.

"I'm so happy you came, thank you so much for finding me and taking the time to visit me," I smiled.

"I could never live with myself without knowing if you were okay. I tried my best to get here as soon as I could," He smiled, intertwining our hands. He spun me around making me laugh. A smile never leaves my lips.

We walked past Tyler and Josh's room, but only Josh remained. As soon as we made eye contact, Josh got off his bed. His hair was messy and his eyes were puffy. I knew it wasn't from weed, but from crying. There were tear marks streaking down his handsome face.

"Joshie? What's wrong?" I asked. My smile dropped, my hand leaving Andy's.

"You never told me.." He looked down. His eyes held sorrow and sadness.

"What did I not tell you?" I asked. Andy looked uncomfortable. He looked between us two, curiosity dancing in his eyes.

"You and Remington were a thing," His eyes remained on the floor.

"I didn't know I had to? I thought it was obvious. I mean.." I trailed off not wanting to say what my thoughts were.

"But I am your friend," He yelled stepping closer to me. His eyes trailed to mine, tears falling down his cheeks.

"Hey man, don't you think you're being a little dramatic," Andy pushed himself in between us.

"Who are you? The sideman?" He pushed Andy. Andy scoffed, his eyes were laced with anger as he heard Josh bad mouth him and me.

"Leave Andy out of it. He has a wife. I'm sorry for not telling you. That is my bad. I shouldn't have assumed you knew. But you have no reason to be mad at me. You would think that the way I cling to him and sleep in the same bed as him and kiss him would tell you that something was going on. I don't just go around kissing people for the hell of it," I screamed. My hands started moving at a rapid pace as I started signing out what I was saying. I was getting frustrated.

"You broke my heart," He cried.

"I'm sorry Josh. I didn't know you liked me like that...I would never purposely hurt you," I walked around Andy and tried to hug him only to be pushed back. I fell to the ground because of how much force was behind his push. I knew that my thigh would be bruised, but I ignored it. Andy rushed to my side and looked at Josh.

"You stay away from me you selfish bitch," Josh spoke with furious rage. His body shook.

"Woah, now I have no place in this conversation. But you shouldn't treat a woman like that. I don't care how angry you are," Andy glared at the man. His eyebrows furrowed and his face turned to that of a mad man.

"Whatever man," Josh trailed back to his room.

"Hey-" Andy yelled back to him, but was cut off by me.

"Let's just go Ands, there's no need for this. I already have enough drama in my life," I sighed.

Andy looked back at Josh who was now staring out the window. He shook his head and helped me off the floor. I winced as my thigh burned, but ignored it.
